Misery loves company, so write your Turkey Day terror tales in the original post's comments section. It's like liveblogging torture. For those of you without internet access, we've extended the contest deadline to Monday so you can share your pain.

Recipe websites get a huge spike on Thanksgiving day. The New York Times, which loves a trend, analyzes them all. Cheese balls in the Midwest! Sweet potatoes in North Carolina! Something called the Broccoli Casserole belt!

Everyone has a disaster tale about Thanksgiving travel, a burnt bird, or drunk uncle Wally who tends to get a little too handsy after one too many hot toddies. Whoever shares their best story with us wins a prize!
